By the way, I would prefer if crond would just die in cases like this.

All,
This is not the very first time I experienced this and I
wonder what is the common sense to solving this kind of
issues.
I installed this policy update:
selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.12-45.fc11
Tue 16 Jun 2009 06:29:13 AM EDT
Only today I released it made crond in-operational
completely for several days.
/var/log/cron:
Jun 20 06:08:02 hut crond[7705]: (*system*) ERROR (Could
not set exec or keycreate context to
system_u:system_r:system_cronjob_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh for
user)
Jun 20 06:08:02 hut crond[7705]: (root) ERROR (failed to
change SELinux context)
So every single crontab jobs were missed. Simple service
crond restart fixes the problem. Do I need to reboot the
system every time the new policy is installed, is this the
"recommended" approach? Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Vadym Chepkov
